With this release, Asciidoctor PDF finally has a test suite (with > 100 tests)! It also follows core in dropping support for Ruby < 2.3. Many users will be happy to know that footnotes will now be rendered as endnotes instead of inline! Users will also enjoy the fact that the document title and TOC now show on the first page of content for non-book doctypes (set title-page to restore old behavior). Font Awesome 5 makes it's first appearance in the Asciidoctor ecosystem with this release. Integration with Asciidoctor Diagram is also be smoother, SVGs render a whole lot better, and there's no longer extra space around SVGs when only the viewBox is specified in the file. Most of the dependencies have been updated as well. Consult the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes.
